SuzukiPro Master Diatonic Harmonica in C

I’m editing my review as I think I was overly harsh but i still rate it three stars but maybe it’s more 3 1/2.I love the Suzuki Bluesmaster and have owned a couple of them and going into I assumed this would be a slightly more expensive upgrade with a metal comb but, whilst there are similarities, this isn't quite an upgrade.Out of the box this was really terribly set up. Worst out of the box diatonic I’ve used from an established brand. I fixed it but it still just doesn't play quite as well as the Bluesmaster to my mind. It also took a bit of time breaking in. By contrast I also bought a lee Oskar one the same week that didn’t really need much breaking in and, although the out of the box set up wasn’t perfect, it was much better than this one. Looking at the other glowing reviews I might have had bad luck with my particular one. It isn’t terrible but took a lot of work to get it playing right.They feel different to the Bluesmaster due to some design differences. This has the metal plates sticking out from the mouth piece as with some old Hohner models and is what I consider a more retro style design. I imagine this is due to the metal comb. I can adapt to this design fine but give it a very different feel to the Bluesmaster. Otherwise, things are similar. The holes have the same spacing and they sound similar. The pro master is cosmetically nicer though.In short, it is nice looking and after putting in a chunk of work I’m happy with it, but it is not as good as their Bluesmaster models and I won’t be buying another.

A very responsive and beautifully made harp.

A really well made harp for beginners and experts alike.im a complete novice and I find this much easier to play than my fender blues de ville.so much easier to slide to notes and also to get clean single notes.great sound and really well made.you can tell suzuki really put thought into this.bice aluminium comb too.my only problem is the case compared to some harps is a little thin but still a great case.a very nice harp altogether.really pleased with it

They sound great and the ergonomic design gives a nice feel in your hands that you have to hold one of those to understand what I mean.However, 3 harmonicas out of the set have the written key halfway applied on and Amazon has resolved the disappointment. 👍

nice sound

This is the best harmonica I have tried so far. I have tried the Marine bands, special 20s, Lee Oskars and the Blues harps. The Suzuki Promaster is the best out-of-the-box harmonica I have ever tried. The reeds are very responsive. The higher and lower notes and easy to bend. The hole 6 overblow is also very easy to reach. The hole 5 overblow is difficult to reach but this can be fixed with some slight alterations to the reed plates. The shape of the harmonica is different but I got used to it within minutes of playing. This harmonica is also very stylish. I can't wait to order my next Suzuki harmonica.

Very nice Harmonica , sounds great. just be wary that it will not work off the bat on a Magnetic harp arm if using hands free

recipient was very happy... so I'm very happy
